New ranking system incoming, but it is still the early stage of what developers want, featuring season rewards and “balanced” advancement. This system applies to limited and constructed events. New matchmaking system that changes how players are matched in ladder and non-ladder play (which is also new.) Non-Ladder matchmaking will still be based partially on “deck strength” with some fine tuning coming soon.
Patch will hit on December 13th with State of the Beta on Dec 12.
There will now be two separate queues. One which is based primarily on DECK STRENGTH, and the other which is based on RANK. Also, for the deck strength queue, they are adding in more flexibility in matching so you don’t encounter mirror matches and the same exact stuff as often
This will keep very experienced players with full collections from playing against bronze rank ‘newbies’ with 0 cards while still rewarding them for putting in effort to hit legend or playing against mono-red or other hyper-competitive decks that often saturate the meta.
